LIB missing from WDK

Hi,
I don’t know why I missed this when using the beta’s of the WDK,
but hopefully someone from the DDK team can answer this? Could
someone explain to me why LIB was removed from the WDK? If it was
not a mistake, then what is the proper substitue for this command.

I have no idea of where it went or why, but just use LINK /LIB (LIB.EXE
itself is just a front end that issue this (or at least it worked this
way at one point).).

LIB just calls LINK to do the work. It is present in Visual Studio, but I
guess it may not come with WDK. I don’t know if the LINK that comes with
WDK has the LIB functionality in it. You could try using the VS version and
saving the temp file that is used to pass the parameters to LINK.

Yes, and this is still the case. Dumpbin.exe (link /dump) and
Editbit.exe (link /edit) are exactly the same; the exes do nothing but
launch link.exe.
